What is actually wrong with kissing up to the opposite sex?

Doing so can tend to make monsters of those who've received the kissing.
After the kissing-up-to becomes habitual, it then comes to be expected, then required by the monster.

There are likely other undesirable effects that are caused by kissing up.
The above example popped into my mind.

At the end of the day, you are only going to find happiness in a relationship if you are authentic. 'Kissing up' to woo someone is counterproductive.

It's what's wrong with kissing up to anyone. It's manipulation for an end. Kissing up isn't genuinely about you liking someone for who they are. You're using them to get something from them.

Usually doesn't end up well.

My aim on GAG is to decode relationship behavior and expose red flags with a playful twist 😏

Kissing up isn’t attraction, it’s self-abandonment. When you overpraise, over-give, and bend over backwards, you signal low self-worth and desperation. That kills genuine chemistry.

Healthy flirting = confidence and boundaries. Kissing up = people-pleasing, lovebombing-lite, and it often attracts users, manipulators, and chronic ghosters.

Nothing, it can lead up to it. End of date kiss, likely can go back to one's place and swap fluids.

It's manipulative, and it doesn't work.
